Hi all,

with controllers I can configure the Uplink EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS settings for the whole AP group but with Central it seems like I need to edit every single AP. Is that the only way or am I missing something?

Right now I need to go into group level, List view, click the pencil of the AP, go to Interface -> Uplink and there I can enter the PEAP credentials. Then I need to go to AP level, go to config, Uplink and there enable PEAP as protocol. And these steps for every AP.
My customer wants to configure this for a couple hundred APs in multiple groups, is there a simpler way to do this?

And is there a way so that new APs automatically get this settings pushed when they join the VC?

can't you do it at group level?

On group level you can not configure the credentials. It even says so in the link you sent:


So then I guess the only way is to create some script, because it isn't possible...

but with EAP-TLS it should be fine right?

Then, when I upload the AP certificate in the global context as "server certificate", can I choose it in the AP as client certificate?
Because I don't see a client certificate option in the upload certificate page:


I saw that the APs need to be at least 8.9 for EAP-TLS in Central. 

But the currently recommended version is 8.6.0.16



We will upgrade in our test environment and test EAP-TLS Uplink auth on version 8.9
